My eldest child went through this school and my youngest is currently enrolled now. I immediately must warn you….BEWARE of the assistant principal! She will speak over you if you have a concern and make matters MUCH worse. She’s a nightmare. I definitely recommend skipping her and going straight to the head Principal for your concern. He definitely takes care of business and will treat you with respect. Unfortunately this school has A LOT of kid drama. Just in this past 2 weeks there have been 6-8 fights. It got so bad that our kids called us to pick them up cause they were scared. I pulled up to a long line out the door of upset parents waiting to sign their kid out after lunch. School never called to let us know what was going on. It’s just absurd. When it comes to teaching, some teachers can be helpful and some are obviously there to get a paycheck. They don’t care. Don’t believe me… go check out the schools math rating. Last time I checked the percentage of students achieving proficiency in math is 29% (which is lower than the California state average of 40%). At what point are we not going to start blaming the teachers for this insane percentage? My youngest kid’s math teacher will not accept ANY late HW even if sick. I have a ton of college classes under my belt (100 units plus) and I’ve never encountered a teacher like this one. During the student teacher meeting, she either looked at me with a blank stare or just repeatedly said no with a smirk when I asked her if there was anything my kid could do to make up for it. I could go on and on about it but I’ll just leave you with this reminder….. there is a reason this school has a 3/10 rating. Can not wait till my kid is done with this school. Good luck to all you other parents and just pray your child can get through this school without feeling mentally beaten down.

This school is by far worst from what my friends tell me. How does a third grader struggle to learn when the teachers don't teach them the correct way. Using too much technology to make their life easier isn't helping the kids. They don't even know how to use a dictionary book. Their homework is always a struggle for them because they're not taught how to do the homework. It's like throwing things at kids and expect them to learn. The office staffs are so inattentive and rude. Parking lot is chaotic when picking up the kids. Some teachers gives you an attitude when you go pick up your kids. Everyone seems rushed to go home and I feel like the school is all about getting money instead of improving it. No wonder California ranks the bottom in education, no one cares anymore.

Very good good staff and kids are usually very well behaved I substitute and it’s a good school
